Critical Success Points

  • Caramelize the sugar without burning it
  • Achieve a firm, glossy meringue
  • Gently fold the meringue into the choux pastry
  • Do not overbake the Japanese biscuit so it remains pliable
  • Roll the log before the biscuit cools completely

Safety Warnings

  • The caramel is very hot; handle with kitchen gloves.
  • Use oven mitts to remove the sheet from the oven.
  • Raw eggs may contain salmonella; follow proper hygiene practices.
  • The alcohol added to the syrup is flammable; do not bring it to a boil.
